Prince William Sound Glacier Tour - Whittier

Overview

Phillips Cruises and Tours offers a unique and memorable way to view the beauty of the glaciers and wildlife of Prince William Sound in a pristine wilderness area. Conditions change daily due to weather, ice flows, and wildlife activity so our captains adapt to these changing conditions to provide the best cruise experience while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority. The crew is attentive throughout the cruise ensuring that your time with us is an enjoyable memory and a favorite highlight of your Alaska vacation.

Our tours are operated on first-class catamarans.

By operating safely and efficiently, Phillips provides a comfortable cruise and our No-Seasickness Guarantee assures nervous cruisers the confidence that they will enjoy our cruise without any unpleasant effects.

We took the 26 Glacier tour. It was perfect for an easy way to view glaciers up close with minimal effort. The waters were calm (no seasickness). We also took the 6-hour glacier tour to Kenai Fjords. Comparing both, I think the Kenai Fjords glaciers were more spectacular but the seas were rougher and viewing the glacier outside on the boat was much colder. This tour out of Whittier was easier. Wildlife viewing was good on both tours.

Great tour! Glaciers/wildlife/calm waters! Chili was good(included in tour) Boat we were on was pretty special-was used during 9/11 to ferry people away and the rescue/relief workers to! Was also used to rescue the passengers on Sulleys flight that landed on the Hudson. Very humbling
